LIGHTS ARE ON BUT NOBODY'S HOME
24 Jun-23 Jul 2011
Standpoint Gallery

Glenn Brown, Jemima Brown, Toby Christian, Sam Dargan, Nadine Feinson, Nick Hornby, Liane Lang, Fiona MacDonald Light’s Are On But Nobody’s Home celebrates a resurgence of portraiture in contemporary practice, particularly a fascination with the obscured, faked, or adulterated visage. Suggestive of the inability to locate a subject, which has both scientific and theoretical bases, the works present a conscious refusal to allow the ‘meeting’ to happen between the viewer and the person portrayed.
